It’s that time of year again. With the passing of Thanksgiving, and Christmas around the corner, restaurants and bars will see an increase in activity. It’s a great time to switch up the menu and add a seasonal beverage or food item to bring in some extra revenue. “According to Technomic’s Beverage Consumer Trend Report, one-third of consumers and 40% of those ages 18 to 34 say their beverage preferences change depending on the time of year” (Cobe 1). Here are 7 drinks that are fitting for the holidays and for your sales:
